GEORGE HERBERT FOLLOWS, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA;

POCKET-ORDEBIIY.

Specificationof Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 19, 1919.

Application filed September 29, 1916. Serial No. 122,879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HERBERT FOL- Lows, subject of Great Britain, of Pittsburgh, inthe county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful device that I have called a Pocket-Orderly and to which I have given the name This-Week, of which the following is a'specification. I

The object of the invention is to provide, among other purposes, a small and substantial device which will help the user to keep his pocket in order-by this I mean the contents of his pocket, particularly papers of a miscellaneous kind, such as are usually carried in the inside coat pocket.

The device is so constructed and its surfaces so ruled or printed as to serve as portfolio, calendar, diary and for records of appointments, notes, reminders and expenses all for permanent filing away in chronological order.

The general purpose of the device is to add, in a practical and definite way, to the personal efficiency of the user. Used regularly and properly filed away it afiords permanent records, arranged chronologically, of the odds and ends of ones affairs for every dayv in the year.

I will now describe the device shown, which represents the best embodiment of the invention known to me.

The device is preferably made out of a single sheet of suitable card or paper-as Manila card-of rectangular shape, see [Figure 1 (Sheet 1) so cut and folded as to serve as a portfolio-that is as a holder of such papers as are usually carried in the inside coat pocket.

Approximately one quarter of the sheet or card is cut out as shown in Fig. 2 (Sheet 1) What remains is then folded in the manner indicated in Fig. 3 (Sheet 1).

After folding, the lower corners are out 01f at an angle of about 45, as in Fig. 4 (Sheet 1).

- The loose card, cut out as in Fig. 2 (Sheet 1), is a part of the complete device and is for carrying in the folder; one side of it is ruled for notes, reminders, etc.; the other has its two long edges graduated in inches and centimeters respectively, with blank space for notes and sketches.

The outer faces of the device may have calendars printed upon them, preferably for three years. These calendars have a special feature, as indicated in Fig. 5. The current week is picked out and visually separated so as to be instantly visible-by filling in the little square'spaces, as shown. The second page is specially arranged for enterlng' appointmentshappenings. A

special feature of this page is a multiplicity of what 'I have called a divided clock face, which enables the userto connect anotewith the. clock time for any day in the week see Fig. 6.

Fig. 6 is a facsimile showing such appointment and happening entries as might be made during one week. It will be seen that a word or two tied to the divided clock face serves efficiently.

The divided clock faces are repeated on page 3 of the device in order that future apslmile of such entries as might be made during a week, in this diary. These-entries, together with appointments and happenings for the same week, furnish a usefully com-' plete record of the daily events of the week.

Each device is intended for one weeks use in the pocket. At the end of the week it is ready for filing away in suitable box, which is preferably of such dimensions as to accommodate one years supply of the orderlies. At the option of the user, the orderly can be filed away as it is, or can be separated s0 that the appointment and happening page and the diary and expense page can be filed separately.

As a portfolio, the device will carry and protect papers of great variety, such as business cards, time tables, letters, postcards, mileage, clippings, circulars, postage stamps, etc. Held ever so lightly between finger and thumb, not a scrap of the contents can even be shaken out of it. The double fold is responsible for this security. Being open on two sides, the device, used as a portfolio, can be opened wide enough to make the contents readily visible.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. A pocket folder or portfolio consisting of a single sheet folded to form three superposed leaves of approximately equal corresponding dimensions constituting a receptacle open along two. adjacent edges and having at least one of its inner faces provided with record-keeping spaces and each space being provided with a plurality of cloc'l'refaee segments representing diflerent time periods.

2. A record-keeping folder having one of its inner faces provided with three clockface segments corresponding to morning, afternoon and evening, respectively, and with writing spaces adjacent said clockface segments.

3. Arecord-keeping folder having one or more of its. inner faces provided'with spaces for daily entries and each space being prowhich is. provided with spaces for daily entries and with a plurality of clock-face segments in each space representing difierent time periods.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed mysignature, in presence of two witnesses.
